Good Words for CLEVELAND.

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-The annual
dinner Of the Young Mems Democratic
club of Brooklyn was given tonight in
that city, partly in honor of Governor
Hill. Senator Colquitt, of Georgia, and
Gen. John c. Black, of Illinois, we're
among the guests. Letters of regret
were read from President Cleveland,
Secretary Bayard, ex-Secretary Manning,
Senator Thurman, Attorney General
Garland. Postmaster General Villas and
Secretary Whitney.
In the course of his opening remarks,
President Frederick r. Lee, of the club,
said: The Democratic party has been
strengthened by the continued successes
of President Cleveland's administration.
The enforcement of the civil service law
meets our heartiest approval, and we
approve the policy of the administration
in steadfastly opposing a rupture with our
Canadian neighbors. The recent cour-
ageous veto by the president of the de-
pendent pension bill receives our heartiest
commentator.

The Railroads and Interstate
Commerce Law.

CHICAGO, Feb 22.-The general man
ayers of the trans continental railroads
began to day the consideration of the
Interstate law and the necessary steps 10
be taken to meet its requirements. The
session opened by the reading of a
paper prepared by N. Greene Curtis,
general solicitor of the Southern Pacific
Railroad company. The tenor of his
article was that the law was susceptible of
liberal Interpretation, and if so taken
would not seriously interfere with the
operation OF the Pacific roads. After the
reading of the paper it was agreed that
nothing could be done toward regulating
tariffs, as under a strict construction of
the law either through or local business
would have to be sacrificed. 1t was de-
cided that a committee be appointed to go
before the commission as soon as its
members are named and ask them to
make such exceptions as will allow the
roads to carry both classes of traffic with
out loss and without division to water or
foreign routes. The meeting will con-
tinue in session two or three days.
